Popular Signia Hearing Aid Models

Signia is among the most popular brands at ZipHearing, and for good reason. No other company brings more history, sets higher standards, or packs more technology into its hearing aids. Formerly known as Siemens, Signia represents the future of a company that began producing hearing aids more than a century ago (Sivantos). Siemens had (and still does) a reputation for what the company describes as cutting-edge technology with German engineering and premium quality. Now under the Signia moniker, the company has kept its robust portfolio of cutting-edge hearing aid technology while introducing a new emphasis on personalized hearing care. Keep reading to learn more about what this means.

Signia's brand-new Pure Nx hearing aids should be on your short list if you like the sound of a hearing aid designed to enhance speech understanding in background noise while maintaining a natural quality for your own voice. We realize that every company seems to make this promise, but Pure Nx is one hearing aid that fulfills it better than many others. We also recommend the discrete instant-fit Silk Primax CIC, Cellion Primax with Lithium-ion rechargeable battery, and custom-built Insio Primax hearing aids from Signia. Most of these hearing aids come in several different styles and performance levels, so you are sure to find a combination to suit your needs.

As you delve a little deeper into the options for Signia hearing aids, you may find it helpful to know that a simple numbering system designates the performance level of each model. The higher the number, the higher the performance level. The abbreviation following a performance level signifies which product family the hearing aid belongs to. For example, Pure Nx hearing aids come in 3Nx, 5Nx, and 7Nx models, so if you are looking for the top-of-the line check out Pure 7Nx. If you are looking for the latest technology Signia offers, but with a smaller price tag, consider Pure 3Nx instead. Some models include the battery size in their name (e.g., 13 or 312), when the hearing aid comes in different styles or with a choice of battery sizes.

Pure Nx

Signia calls Pure Nx hearing aids the "smallest solution for a natural sounding own voice and direct streaming". This refers to the version with size-312 batteries. The hearing aids are also available with size-13 batteries for the longest streaming time in class. These fully-featured RITE-style hearing aids feature a raft of sophisticated sound processing technologies, including Signia's unique OVP (Own Voice Processing). If you have worn hearing aids before and had to compromise between setting the volume loud enough to hear other people's voices yet soft enough to keep your own voice sounding natural, you will probably appreciate OVP. It uses real-time recognition of your voice to process it separate from other sounds and voices. In other words, the hearing aids treat your own voice in a distinctly different way, as if you had two separate hearing aids - one for your own voice, and one for other voices. No compromises needed!

Pure Nx hearing aids are made for iPhone, meaning they can stream music and calls directly from Apple devices without the use of additional accessories. For streaming from Android devices, you will need the StreamLine Mic (which is also compatible with Apple devices). It’s small, easy-to-use, and is useful with or without a smartphone, because it functions as a remote microphone for meetings or lectures where you need to hear from across the room. Of course, there is nothing wrong with using your phone the old-fashioned way – by holding it up to your ear. If that is your style, Pure Nx is still a great choice, because the full-bandwidth link between the two hearing aids transmits the phone signal wirelessly from one hearing aid to the other.

Signia’s myControl app lets you discreetly and conveniently control your hearing aids from the palm of your hand with compatible Apple or Android devices. You can use it to control more than just the basics, such as left and right hearing aid volume. For example, the app lets you adjust the hearing aids' sophisticated directional microphones for improved hearing in background noise. Hearing aids with directional microphones usually focus in front of the listener to reduce interference from background noise coming from other directions. This is fine most of the time, because people tend to look at each other when they talk - but not always. What if the sound you want to hear is not right in front of you? Some advanced digital hearing aids, including Pure Nx, automatically shift the direction of focus to follow voices as the people around you move. But Signia has taken things a step further by letting you manually "steer" the microphone response in any direction, including behind you. If you're wondering how this could be useful, just think about having a conversation while driving your car. You can tell these hearing aids to “look” toward the passenger side or rear of the vehicle while you keep your eyes on the road.

We mentioned earlier that Signia has introduced a new emphasis on personalized care. One example that shows in Pure Nx is how your hearing care provider can adjust them remotely, saving you the inconvenience of returning to the office for fine tuning. You can send feedback to the provider, ask for assistance by video chat, and even request minor adjustments remotely - all from the myHearing app.

You would rather have your hearing aids adjusted where you actually wear them than only in your hearing care provider’s office

Silk Nx

Signia’s Silk Nx are small, discreet, instant-fit hearing aids with superior sound quality. That's a unique combination, because these are the only invisible-style hearing aids with premium features like Signia's Binaural OneMic Directionality that also come ready to wear. Previously available only at the highest performance level, OneMic Directionality is now included in all Silk Nx hearing aids. Another new addition that comes standard is TwinPhone, which uses Signia's HD e2e wireless capability to automatically transmit phone audio from one hearing aid to another so you can hear in both ears.

Silk Nx feature a soft and flexible silicone sleeve that conforms to your ear canal for a precise instant fit. This means you don't have to wait for custom devices to get a comfortable fit. The replaceable silicone sleeve simply clicks onto the tip of the hearing aid, so it's easy to get the right fit with minimal fuss. Many people actually prefer these Click Sleeves over custom hearing aids. While the Nx platform is new to Silk hearing aids, the Click Sleeves are not. It's a form factor that proved popular and comfortable in Silk primax, the predecessor to the new Silk Nx hearing aids. What has changed is that Silk Nx are 20 percent smaller than their predecessor, for even more discretion. It's enough of a difference that Signia has added one additional size (smaller) to the line up.

Silk Nx not only feel comfortable to wear, they sound great too, thanks to the advanced sound processing of the Nx platform. A key feature is Signia's Ultra HD e2e processing. It's a full bandwidth wireless connection that can transfer audio and data between a pair of hearing aids. This makes it possible for two hearing aids to work together for more effective noise reduction than is possible in independent hearing aids — and it makes a big difference.

When invisible-style hearing aids first hit the market several years ago, consumers loved their small size and the natural sound quality provided by having the microphones located in the ear canal. But those hearing aids were too small to house the dual microphones essential for advanced directional processing, so slightly larger behind the ear hearing aids became more popular. With Signia's Binaural OneMice Directionality, the situation has changed. Each Silk hearing aid has only one microphone, but the two hearing aids work together to provide effective noise reduction and directional hearing without adding bulk to the hearing aids.

Signia Silk Nx come in three performance levels, to suit a variety of needs and budgets, and are suitable for up to severe hearing loss. If you need more power or are interested in Signia’s unique Own Voice Processing, consider a RIC hearing aid such as Signia Pure Nx. Otherwise, Signia Silk Nx are a great choice.

Cellion Primax

Cellion Primax hearing aids are RITE hearing aids with a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. They are built on the same technology as the Silk Primax models, so they are compatible with EasyTek wireless accessories, the touchControl smartphone app for Apple and Android devices, and can stream telephone signals from one hearing aid to the other via a wireless connection. Unlike Silk Primax, Cellion Primax also include directional hearing aids for improved hearing in background noise, and a push button for manual control. The battery lasts 24 hours per charge, with unlimited audio streaming from the EasyTek remote control.

Unlike some competitors' rechargeable hearing aids, Cellion Primax uses inductive charging. This means the battery is enclosed in the case, with no battery door and no electrical charging contacts. Simply place the hearing aids in the charger and you're done.

Insio Nx

Signia's Insio Nx are small, discreet, custom-fit hearing aids with superior sound quality. The highlight of these sophisticated hearing aids is Signia's Ultra HD e2e processing. It's a full bandwidth wireless connection that can transfer audio and data between a pair of hearing aids. What this means is that the two hearing aids can work together to reduce background noise, provide enhanced directional hearing, and improve music processing.

When invisible-style hearing aids first hit the market several years ago, consumers loved their small size and the natural sound quality provided by having the microphones located in the ear canal. But those hearing aids were too small to house the dual microphones essential for advanced directional processing, so slightly larger behind the ear hearing aids became more popular. With Signia's Binaural OneMice Directionality, the situation has changed. Even though Insio hearing aids each have just one microphone, they can work together to provide effective noise reduction and directional hearing without adding bulk to the hearing aids. Previously available only at the top of the Insio line, this feature now comes standard in all Insio models.

TwinPhone, another new addition included in all Insio models, uses Signia's HD e2e wireless capability to automatically transmit phone audio from one hearing aid to another so you can hold the phone to one ear, but hear call in both ears.

Signia Hearing Aid Reviews

The devices do not work for me as they do not fit securely in my ear canal. More noise amplification than speech clarity Squealing when I have my mobile phone or handset to my ears No invisible enough compares to soundless which I previously wore. Interface with app worked fine but sometimes is hesitant in connecting with app .

I’m very happy with this hearing aid. It is my first one but the hearing improvement it has given me is remarkable. I have an iPhone so I’m enjoying the streaming ability that is available to me. Unfortunately my son, who just got these hearing aids as well, has an Android and cannot use the streaming feature with his phone. This is the only improvement I would request that they work on because this is such a helpful feature, I feel like he isn’t getting the full benefit of these hearing aids without it.

My husband just got these. They help his hearing about the same as his oticon aids. But they make his voice and my voice sound weird when I am within three feet of him. I sound to myself as if I am on a radio with static and his voice is similar. This is really bad in the car where I can,t move further away. has anyone else had this problem?

I recently purchased a pair of Signia Silk NX7 hearing aids. I am a long time user of hearing aids and have used two different sets of over the ear hearing aids for the past 8 years. Both of those were satisfactory but I wanted to move to something that was less noticeable and not impacted by the movement of the arms of my glasses. The NX'7s met these requirements plus they did not require me to go through the process of having an ear mold made. If you are new to hearing aids any model of hearing aid is going to require some time for you get accustomed to them, both from a comfort/feel and sound standpoint. But for me, having used hearing aids for a long time, I encountered no problems making the switch the the NX7's. I find them extremely comfortable to wear and most of the time I don't even realize physically that I have them in my ears. Additionally, they are providing me with the most natural sound of any I have worn along with improved hearing. And finally, they essentially disappear into the ear. Highly recommended. You will need to try both the click selves and click domes in various sizes to see which works best for you. I found the click domes to be the most comfortable and they also allow better pass through of external sounds.

I’ve been wearing the Signia 7nx hearing aids for about 9 months now. They’ve been outstanding! I love the Bluetooth and the settings for either “Universal” or “Noisy Environment”. For the most part, comfort-wise, I really forget that I’m wearing them. And with the Bluetooth, I can listen to music from my iPhone, especially on my morning walks, without disturbing others. The Signia “MyControl” app for my iPhone leaves a lot to be desired, however, especially in determining individual aid battery power remaining. The ap has a number of other features that you’ll find to be of no real value to you. Overall though, I highly recommend this hearing aid, albeit relatively expensive.

I agree with the other reviews, they're very comfortable and even after getting a low battery alarm, I've gone several hours without them dying on me. I don't even worry about it any more, at 11pm it wouldn't be all that important to me if the batteries went dead.

My only complaint is that when playing a guitar, unplugged, the guitar sounds different, much different. I could get used to the difference in tone, that's to be expected, but there seems to be a very fast oscillation when I pluck a string on the guitar, really unnatural sounding. I'd like to know if anyone else is experiencing this!? Maybe I need to go back and get some adjustments made, I don't know.

I've had my new Signia Silk 7 NX hearing aids almost 2 weeks and I'm very satisfied so far. I've had 2 appointments to "fine tune" these hearing aids and I'm very happy with the results. They are comfortable to wear and sound more natural than my older behind the ear hearing aids. No more feedback when my wearing my hearing aids and my glasses or hats. In fact no more feedback period, even when I try to make them feedback intentionally. One minor negative is they take a size 10 battery where my old aids took a size 13, so the batteries don't last as long. But that is not a big deal to me, I'm happy to replace the batteries more often and have a convenient, more natural sounding hearing aids with excellent feedback cancellation. I can understand speech in any situation and have had no problems with the touch control app. If I need to make adjustments, it's very handy and only takes a few taps of my phone. I can even tell the hearing aids in which direction I need to hear and the microphones point in that direction (called Spatial Configurator). Another little detail is that I can rename the programs so I remember which program I need to be on (there are 6 program slots on my hearing aids). I am also a musician (acoustic music) and I really like the HD Music Performer program. The windscreen feature is also nice having come from behind the ear hearing aids to these, I hardly hear any wind noise with the Silks and I couldn't hear anything but wind on a windy day with my old BTE aids. Overall a really great pair of hearing aids and I highly recommend them!

The quality is excellent. It’s so nice to hear again. They are very small and I am finally getting to the place where I forget they are in. Learning to not hear yourself is the only strange thing but it’s only been 2 weeks. I was so surprised at how almost invisible hearing aids are now. Gone are the days where everyone knew you had hearing aids because they were so big and noticeable.

The sound quality is pretty good and I like the various channel options for the different settings. I do notice a difference with each settng. I am only two weeks in so I hope my brain adjusts soon, haha! I am happy with the product even though I am still sorting things out and determining how loud or soft things need to be. I am so glad to actually be able to hear!!

My experience with my new Pure 7Nx hearing aids was very good. From the beginning of the process to the time I received my hearing aids every went as I was told. My hearing aids are very comfortable and have improved my ability to hear and interact with other people greatly. I can now go to restaurants and other areas where many people are and carry on a conversation with the ability to hear. The local office I used to have my hearing aids delivered through have been really helpful. I have and will continue to recommend Zip Hearing to friends and others.
